How many more average points per game did Wilkins get over Michael Jordan?
passage · full text (1,004 characters)
Wilkins was honored by several sports publications the next season as the NBA Comeback Player of the Year. He scored an average of 27.7 points per game in the first month of the season. He then suffered a setback when he fractured the ring finger on his right hand on December 15, sitting out the next 11 games. He returned to rack up 29.4 points per game on .487 shooting in January, then added 31.5 points per game on .519 shooting in February. By the end of the season, his scoring average was up to 29.9, second in the league behind Michael Jordans 32.6. When Wilkins scored his 31st point in a February 2 game against the 1992-93 Seattle SuperSonics season, he broke Bob Pettits franchise scoring record of 20,880 points. He had developed into a full-fledged three-point threat, hitting 120 of 316 attempts from long range to shatter his previous career bests. He was later selected to the All-NBA Second Team. The 1992-93 Chicago Bulls season swept the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs 3-0.
